Multiverse of Madness

I just had a drip coffee with a shot of espresso, and they put cinnamon on top. It reminded me of CC Jitters back home. Suddenly, I was back in that cafe again.

Made me a little homesick. Funny, I've been here eighteen months, and I'm feeling homesick all of a sudden.

In the absence of certain individuals in our community, it has come to my attention that Threshold has not opened for business this week. I found myself in desire of a delicious cocktail I did not make myself and was unable to obtain it on familiar ground, which is obviously troubling for more reason than one.

I have a key (thank you, Jace anonymous benefactor) and have breached the wards and would like to at least keep some weekend hours while its owner is away. However, bartending for crowds is not my favorite, and I did not have a husband and a five-year-old the last time I was running a club. Anyone else looking for some work-like distraction from current circumstances, please apply here.

Alternately, if you want to quickly figure out how to get back our missing people, I'll take that instead.

Thinking about taking a weekend trip out for some hiking and swimming, maybe with some company. Probably not a huge group if we're gonna camp comfortably, but it'd be great to rope in a few people.

Any recommendations? Vernooy Falls Trail comes highly praised, but if there are others, throw them my way.

[Bucky]
Lookin' at you. Sound like something Ellie might wanna do?

[Clint]
Hanging in there?

Okay, so the mood is understandably somber for obvious reasons, and I think we can all agree that no one wants fireworks nearby, but is anyone interested in trying to throw together a little Fourth of July picnic on the lawn at the Facility? Super low-key. Just a little food, a little music, maybe some lawn games and dancing. Anyone up for it?

Totally get it, if not.

I can't get in. Portals aren't portaling.



[Science/Security -A voice post]

Two explosions. 14 minutes..Like it's broken. Pounding in my head every 14 minutes and 23 seconds.

I saw a green flash. Not sure if it's in my head or not.

it isn't stopping

Please be advised there is an emerging situation happening at the Lighthouse.

At 20:37, the seismic sensors registered a low level tremor consistent with a detonation located at the Lighthouse coordinates. The event repeated minutes later.

Eyewitnesses in the area have described an explosion that levels the Lighthouse, but couldn't get closer. They said a green flash of light accompanied every reset. I've sent a team to establish a perimeter and ask that no one goes near until we find out more. Tony is sending in people to make sure the public and the media stays out of this. Team Science, I'd love you to weigh in.

I'll keep everyone updated as I can. So far, we can't raise communications inside. If you've been living and/or working in the Lighthouse, please check in here, let us know you're okay.

Had a bit of spare time and got to browsing...it's Pride month. I've never really done anything with that before, but it turns out entire cities have parades and festivals for it.

[Ben R]
Would you go with me to one of these? I think I'd like to see it.

I mean, I will certainly take this over the Prison World, but...

I kind of wanted to get back home.

Dammit.

I'm back, again. Missed my birthday and see I am being called upon to get this beach shindig sorted.

So, fun day on Rainbow Beach, Saturday, noon until sundown, bbq and some friendly competition. Bring your plus ones and your pets, all ages.

Don't travel on your own, if you need a buddy drop a message and we'll all go together.

I should start up some kind of delivery business. Getting all your exotic goods in record time.

...maybe the slogan needs work.

That being said, I like feeling useful. If you've got something you want, I'll help you get it.

So, the Cassie of this world is doing great, so are the rest of the Antfam. Thanks, Barry for being my ride. Speedsters are the best way to travel, if anyone was wondering.

A Cheers marathon is a good way to spend all this free time, right?

[Legends]
Wanted to check in and make sure we're good. Cisco didn't react well to my news and I got a little paranoid that you guys might be mad too.


[Other Arrowverse folks (minus Cisco)]
Not sure if you guys have seen this on the network or heard it elsewhere, but Leonard Snart and I got married a few weeks ago.


[Cisco]
I'm sorry.

Ben and I are home. Did we miss anything?

I'm going a little crazy sitting so still.

Can I run errands for anyone? Need to move my feet.

Today is World Aquatic Animal Day! It's also Fish Fingers and Custard Day but let's not talk about that. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE FISH! And all the other under the sea creatures too.

Kaldur!? Where are you at?

In one fell swoop we’re three Legends down.

I’m beginning to wish the cold gun had worked on those portals.

There's got to be something more we can do about these portals. Is there no way of tracking them? We know by the fluctuation in the energy signature when someone comes through the main portal we have at the Facility. It sounds like the Red Portals have a different energy signature. Have we been able to trace it? We've got the best minds in the god damn universe here. We're better than these damn portals. We should be able to figure this out.

I'm so frustrated with myself over

I'll be in the Lab.

Well fuck.

In case anyone was wondering, red portals can't be frozen. Which means the energy behind them is something other than elemental.

Been browsing random store fronts...but I don't really know anything about real estate. Only the bare bones basics of what I want the space for. Who here has a real estate brain I can pick for a minute? I'm highly considering opening a plant shop, and I've been thinking on it for months now.

My phone tells me it's a week until one of the drunkest days of the year.

Is anyone else here a recovering addict non-drinker?

Sorry for the burnt smell in the kitchen. I killed a toaster.

I hate to add bad news to bad news, but I just saw Clark and Karli get pulled into a portal from across the street. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough to keep either of them from it.

This is maddening.

Tim isn't back yet? That sucks.

I still have the schedules and stuff for security from the last time Derek was away. If that helps in any way?

I'm available for hugs in the games room. Please form an orderly queue.

Been a bit absent from the net, but I'm back home now and looking forward to getting back into things.

[Science lab and light house]
I'm planning to come back on Monday, so I have no speech for the rest of the population yet...only that I appreciate how you all have handled things while I've been gone. I was able to focus on getting back to things because you all are so capable.

Thank you isn't enough. But thank you anyway.

[Wedding guests]
Thank you all for being there. It meant the world to us.

[Derek]
I'm going to try to come back to the lab on Monday...think you can help me out and be lab security for the day?

[Gideon]
I was speaking to Derek a while back before the ceremony, we should come up with an encrypted filter for network posts.

I'm having a harder time sitting still than normal lately. Another effect of the Red Portals?

If the portals are taking requests for people to vanish, I would like to suggest the jackass that cut me off as I was coming back from a little road trip.

[Team Legends]

Any of you been portal-napped yet? If you don't respond I am assuming yes.

These red portals seem to be picking up. Cath and Jest got caught in one. How many people have disappeared now? And have any returned?


[Hargreeves + Cisco]
Are you all okay?

With everything else going on, it seems a bit silly to complain about this epic case of deja vu I've had for the past week, but here we are.

If anyone has experienced anything odd or out of the ordinary and are concerned that it might be "red portal" related, please don't hesitate to stop by Medical as soon as possible. We'll do some tests and run the results by the science team to see if there might be any correlation.

I was with Evan and a red light burst in their apartment. They're gone. I don't--I wasn't fast enough to-

Any news on this thing? What it is, what's causing it??

My husband, Sam and Bucky vanished last night from Threshold via a red portal.

Clint is still gone.

Our portal is blue. The one that took me to the Continent was gold. So this is some new fucking nightmare.

Nightmares last night about losing everyone. Woke up this morning, and the only person I wanted to talk to was Caitlin

Getting to the end of the year. I'll be glad when the days start growing noticably longer again.

All Saints. I'm dead, right? That guy told me I'm not, but this is definitely where a soul goes.

Anyone want to babysit a robot tonight?

If anyone's looking for me I'll... well I'll just be back later.

Me, when I woke up this morning: Put on finishing touches to fake my death.

Me, a few hours later: Jump down the rabbit hole. Regain teenaged body forever. Go to start my new forever...

And find myself here instead.

Hi. I'm Alyssa.

We've been back for a few days, but we haven't made our announcement yet: while on vacation, Magnus and I got married. It was a bit of a sudden decision, all with Magnus quickly but carefully planning and we couldn't be happier.

[Jace, Izzy, Simon]

So, I'm worried. Magnus isn't sleeping again. He was completely fine while we were away, but the dreams have come back.

So I've been racking my brain, trying to figure out what I coulda said or done to make my contractor take off in the middle of her consultation. Thought we were getting along like a house on fire, but she went out in the hall to take a call, and now she's not returning my texts and her phone goes straight to voicemail. This kinda sucks.

Yeah, yeah, I read everything and listened to what everyone said, but this is still so screwed up.

Although I guess it's not that different than getting taken by the Ghost Riders.

Please don’t do as I do, but as I say and take it easy on the alcoholic beverages this holiday season.

Stomach pumping is unpleasant for all involved.

And to the little Christmas-Fairy-Sparkle-Elf who decorated medical; thank you. The lights and tinsel are very lovely.

I want to go ice skating.

Who's in?

I have less than a month to plan the most epic New Year's Eve party possible.

Anyone have suggestions or requests?


[Private to Eliot & Quentin]
Don't worry, I'll make sure you two can sneak off somewhere to kiss at midnight.

How does anyone balance their social calendar at this time of year?

Also, I bloody hate having a social calendar now. When did I get to be this person?

I just had the most bizarre experience when I was walking back to the Consulate a few minutes ago.

An older woman with a tiny dog stopped me on the sidewalk, thanked me for being—and I quote—"a very attractive young man", and handed me a $100 bill.

I know I'm a little removed from humanity, but does this happen often?

sorry

I don't know what else to say except thanks... And I'm sorry for everything.

I'm putting together a movie schedule for the Game Room. Comment your favorite movies below and I'll add them to the calendar. I figure a movie a day until Christmas gives us room for 24.

I'm looking for a variety... sentimental ones, classics, comedies, horror films? I'd love to try everything this world has to offer.

It's hard to believe it's already nearly Christmas again, especially after all the weird time and dimensional travel that happened this year.

Okay, this is wild. Even for me.
